How we work
However we work with our clients we never charge for phone calls, letters or dealing with HMRC so we encourage our clients to call us with any queries whether they relate to tax, accounting software or HMRC correspondence. We use the latest software and can work with any accounting software although our preference is Xero. We manage all the filing deadlines using software and can ensure that you never miss a filing obligation.

We can prepare your year-end accounts accurately and in a timely fashion whether you are a sole trade, partnership or limited company. If a quick turnaround is required we can usually accommodate this. Accounts can be prepared from bookkeeping records or directly from source documents. We use the latest software to ensure that we operate in an efficient manner which enables us to deliver a cost-effective service to our clients.

We provide a service designed to ensure your tax return is complete, accurate and submitted to HMRC on time. As part of this service we will become your authorised agent with HMRC which will save you the time and hassle of dealing with HMRC yourself as we will be able to liaise with them direct in relation to your tax affairs.
For sole traders this service will encompass quarterly submissions required under Making Tax Digital where relevant.

For clients who would like us to offer a complete service we can include bookkeeping services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Alternatively, we can recommend some good local bookkeepers for those clients who have a high volume bookkeeping requirement where this would be a better option.

If we complete your bookkeeping we can also prepare and submit your monthly or quarterly VAT returns to HMRC. For clients that conduct their own bookkeeping or use a bookkeeper we offer a service where we review and submit the VAT return to HMRC to ensure that it is compliant and accurate.

We also provide all relevant paperwork such as payslips, P45s and year-end P60s. As part of the service we will advise on Statutory Payments such as sick pay, maternity pay and paternity pay. Where relevant we will also advise on taxable benefits in kind and make the relevant notifications to HMRC through the payroll process or separately using forms P11D.

We can provide monthly or quarterly management information to help you properly manage your business and make timely decisions based on accurate financial information. As part of this process we can work with you to set a budget at the start of the financial year so we can measure actual results against budget to identify areas within the business that are operating well or might require attention.
